Effect of the CYP2C19 polymorphism on the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori infection by 7-day triple therapy with regular proton pump inhibitor dosage

Abstract Background and Aim:, Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) in the liver. We investigated whether the CYP2C19 genotype plays a role in the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in patients receiving pantoprazole- or esomeprazole-based triple therapy. Methods:, A total of 327 patients infected with H. pylori were treated with either pantoprazole or esomeprazole, plus amoxicillin and clarithromycin for 7 days. The presence of the CYP2C19 genotype was determined by pyrosequencing. Results:, The overall H. pylori eradication rate was 85%; 82.6% for the PAC regimen, and 88.3% for the EAC regimen; the differences were not statistically significant. The overall eradication rate in the poor metabolizer groups (PM) was significantly higher than in the extensive metabolizer groups (EM) (97.4% vs 83.3%; P = 0.016). The eradication rates in the EM and PM groups were 80.8% and 95.7% for the PAC regimen and 86.8% and 100% for the EAC regimen, respectively. Conclusion:, The results of this study suggest that the CYP2C19 genotype status may play a role in the H. pylori eradication rate in patients receiving pantoprazole or esomeprazole-based triple therapy.

A randomized, open trial evaluating the effect of Saccharomyces boulardii on the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori infection in children

ACTA PAEDIATRICA, Issue 1 2009

Abstract Aim: The failure rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication imposes the assessment of new options. Subjects and methods: A prospective open study was performed in 90 symptomatic children (range 3,18 years) with H. pylori infection, randomized in two groups: control (42 patients) and intervention group (48 patients). Both groups were treated with the standard triple eradication therapy (omeprazole/esomeprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin) for 7,10 days. The intervention group was also treated with Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii), 250 mg b.i.d., for 4 weeks. The eradication rate of H. pylori was assessed by the same methods (urease test and histology) 4,6 weeks after treatment. Adverse events and compliance were evaluated after 7 and 28 days of treatment. The Chi-square test was used for statistical evaluation (p < 0.05). Results: H. pylori infection was identified in 90 of 145 children (62%) and it correlated positively with age (p < 0.002) and inversely with socioeconomic status (p < 0.005). All infected children had chronic gastritis, with antral nodularity in 76.7%. Overall, H. pylori eradication rate was 87.7% (control 80.9%, S. boulardii group 93.3%) (p = 0.750). The incidence of side effects was reduced in the S. boulardii group: 30.9% in the control versus 8.3% in the probiotic group (p = 0.047). Conclusion: The addition of S. boulardii to the standard eradication treatment confers a 12% nonsignificant enhanced therapeutic benefit on H. pylori eradication and reduces significantly the incidence of side effects.

Double-Dose, New-Generation Proton Pump Inhibitors Do Not Improve Helicobacter pylori Eradication Rate

HELICOBACTER, Issue 6 2007

Abstract Background: Up to present, omeprazole plus two antibiotics are used for Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy . Few studies have compared double-dose new-generation, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) with omeprazole. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, prospective study to evaluate differences in H. pylori eradication rates by PPI type. Material and Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2006, 576 consecutive patients with proven H. pylori infection were enrolled prospectively. Four different PPIs [omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d. (old generation), or pantoprazole 40 mg b.i.d., rabeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., or esomeprazole 40 mg b.i.d. (new generation)] were added to clarithromycin (500 mg b.i.d.) and amoxicillin (1 g b.i.d.) for 1 week. Results: By intention-to-treat analysis, no difference was found between the eradication rates of these four PPIs: 64.9% (omeprazole, n = 148), 69.3% (pantoprazole, n = 140), 69.3% (rabeprazole, n = 140), and 72.9% (esomoprazole, n = 148). When eradication rates were analyzed according to whether patients had an ulcer or not on a per-protocol basis, no difference was found between the eradication rates of the four PPIs. However, side-effects were more common in the esomeprazole-based triple therapy group than in the other groups (p < .05). Conclusions: No convincing evidence was obtained that double-dose new-generation PPIs have better H. pylori eradication rates and tolerability than omeprazole. [source]
